About
Bar Tape

Bar tape adds the finishing touches to your pride and joy, you can go for colour coded bar tape or even carbon fibre bar tape, but it's not there just to look good, it actually serves an important function by absorbing road vibration and providing a grippy surface for you to hold onto. Cork tapes offer high levels of road vibration absorption, to get even higher levels of comfort you can use gel pads under the tape on points of regular contact if needed.

About the Fizik brand

Fi’zi:k is the premium, racing brand of Selle Royal S.p.a. Its name is synonymous with the shape and form of the human body; hence the intuitive association with products that are contact points between riders and their bikes. More than this, fi’zi:k represents beauty, speed, passion, freedom for those who race against each other, race against the clock and for enthusiast cyclists around the world who identify with the feeling of the fire of competition.
The humble origin in 1998 stemmed from a vision to improve rider performance by creating superior saddle comfort. Today’s Spine Concept™ provides a guideline to help riders find their most comfortable saddle. Integral to this comfort is the design collaboration with professional athletes and the fact that each saddle is 100% “fatto a mano” (hand-made) in Italy. Some credit Fi’zi:k with redefining the racing saddle category thanks to its destructively-innovative elegant products that are not only comfortable, but also a source of style and beauty in their own right. The Arione, launched in 2003 is one such example.
In 2006 fi’zi:k launched a product for riders’ hands: a strong, washable Microtex bar tape. Shoes were then launched in 2010 offering a unique blend of innovative materials with an inimitable style. 2014 sees fi’zi:k launch road cockpit components employing The Spine Concept™ to help riders choose their perfect handlebar shape.
In 2013 fi’zi:k saddles were ridden by 8 out of the 19 UCI World Tour Teams. Fi’zi:k’s relentless innovation is facilitated by many such committed professional athletes, from all cycling disciplines. Relentless testing and refinement has helped fi’zi:k to push the boundaries of possibility. It will come as little surprise then that Fi’zi:k products have been ridden to many Cycling World titles, Ironman World Championship titles and beyond.

Nearly perfect
Looks good, is comfortable, and easy to clean. But, (and I am not very expert at wrapping bars) the amount supplied seemed a little short and it was difficult to achieve a neat result under the hoods because it's so thick.

Green looks beautiful
Was my first time changing bar tape and the instructions were really clear. The green looks excellent, and they're pretty comfortable. Much better than the dirty white cork tape that I took off.
Only confusing thing is that the Japanese information says they are are a different thickness to all of the other languages. I'm not Japanese, but found it interesting.

Best yet
This is the stuff that you touch from the beginning of the ride to the end, so first of all it must do one thing, Grip, on that front Cinellli Tennis tape has the edge, except its hard as rock and way difficult to apply, as in try to unwind the stuff, (lets face it we all do) Fzik is the first modern tape I've used that allows you to unwind and re apply without residue, you can stretch it without breaking thanks to the stitching, It's grippy enough, easy to apply, and despite what other reviewers have said it seems at least to me long enough (I've applied this tape to Cinelli Neo Morphs) Simple as "It's only bar tape but I like It"

nice feel but too short
The part of the bar that it covered was fine, a quallty and comfortable feel and looks good too, but the tops are half bare now.

Having now used this tape I completely agree with BurtOs. The tape provided is far too short and doesn't stick very well. I tried to use it but it came off after a few days. Replaced with electrical tape and now it's fine! In future I'll apply electrical tape first then put the logo'd tape provided over the top of it to give the pretty finish.

No , it comes with some rubbish tape that you throw out as soon as you open the packet, then you walk down the street and buy a roll of the correctly coloured electrical tape, simples!That said I have never used bar tape that supplies good quality end tape.

"This is a great tape, but be caution, the "Soft Touch" white version is virtually impossible to clean, it attracts dirt like a dirt-magnet. I just bought the normal white version, tape is great as you can expect from Fizik.

Answer:

Based on the staff answer to this question I happily bought this tape for my wife's Burgundy and white bike.Not even close to burgundy in colour. Red. A tiny bit on the scarlet side of RED!Did I say it was red?Between PMS 199C and 200C for those of you with a pantone colour book.
